Morphological Changes of Sharp Bends in Response to Three Gorges Project Operation at Different Discharges

Morphological Changes of Sharp Bends in Response to Three Gorges Project Operation at Different Discharges

Dam construction often changes downstream fluvial processes by reducing sediment supply. Taking Tiaoguan reach and Laijiapu reach of the lower Jingjiang Reach downstream of the Three Gorges Project as examples, three-dimensional flow velocity, sediment, and bed elevation were observed in the two ben...
